Château Beychevelle Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1989

$109

One of the best ever produced from this estate. Intense ripe cherry aromas and flavors come through in this St.-Julien that's big and alcholic, with full silky tannins. Built more like Port than wine... Wine Spectator

The 1989 Beychevelle repeats its performance from a blind tasting in London earlier in 2018. It has an old-school bouquet of dusky black fruit, morels and that light seawater note. The palate is medium-bodied with quite sharp tannin and rustic in style, featuring leathery red fruit and iron ore, though as I noted before, it has faded in recent years and I cannot see much benefit in cellaring this longer. Tasted from an ex-cellar bottle at the château. (Neal Martin, Vinous, September 2019)

Great googly moogly. Totally alive, with silky cassis liqueur.

Elegant and perfumed, the palate was less persistent but still a great wine showing lighter red fruits, apple skin, earth, flowers and leather.

Outstanding. Earthy and darker fruits showed up after an hour. Still opening after 3 hours in a decanter.
